A Rand Corp. economist who advised the CIA on military spending in the former Soviet Union, Abraham Becker suggested that the Soviet Union's defense spending would lead to its eventual downfall. His paper on the subject was published in 1981, years before Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev argued for reduced military spending to modernize the ailing Soviet economy.
